Robert Allait: Sublimis 2021

The Cuvée

Robert Allait | Blanc de Blancs | Vintage 2021

In our daily life, we drink a lot of soda-lemon. And we do it right. Sparkling soda water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, no syrup, no compromises. The result? Several pounds of lemons per week. No joke.

And that's exactly why I love the style of so much. This clear, cool, almost vibrantly citrusy signature runs through all Cuvées, and especially through the Sublimis 2021.

A Blanc de Blancs with quiet power, fine pull and this precise freshness that screams for summer.

A Blanc de Blancs with quiet power, fine pull and this precise freshness that's perfectly suited for warm days.

When life gives you lemons… pop a champagne like Sublimis.

Robert Allait: Sublimis 2021

Not: What am I cooking, and which champagne pairs with it? But rather: Which champagne is waiting in the cellar, and what could pair with it? Some Rosé de Saignée were lying there well-chilled. Powerful, intense, structured, but not necessarily all-rounders. And from this exact situation came this combination: A light carpaccio of red beets, thinly sliced, with goat cheese, chopped walnuts, a few drops of Crema di Balsamico and the finest olive oil from ... as the highlight: a spoonful of Miel du Vignoble from Robert Allait. Simple dish but a magnificent pairing., Rosé de Saignée, Éclat de Meunier - Grape variety: 100% Meunier

  • Vinification: 15 hours skin contact, no malolactic fermentation
  • Aging: Temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, aging on the lees
  • Dosage: 8 g/l, Brut
  • Color: Pale ruby red, brilliant
  • Nose: Cherry, blackcurrant, wild strawberry, honey, licorice
  • Palate: Fresh, clear, with fine fruit sweetness and long, red fruit finish - Served: In Wine Wings glass, for maximum aromatic surface and texture emphasis Honey as part of the terroir The small jar of "Miel du Vignoble" came as a surprise with my last delivery from Robert Allait, a gift from the winery, but also a statement: Biodiversity is not marketing, but lived vineyard work. Why honey in viticulture? Winegrowers who focus on biodiversity deliberately keep beehives in and around their vineyards, not only for pollination, but to strengthen ecological balance. Bees indicate how healthy a terroir really is: No pesticides, no monoculture, no exploitation. The honey is thus more than a byproduct, it is part of the overall concept. Conclusion: Not much. But exactly right. And a glass that shows how expressive Meunier can be in rosé, if you let it. éDeSaignée ätImWeinberg

Some bottles keep coming back to the table because they deliver exactly what you're craving.

The Sublimis 2021 belongs in exactly this category for me. I've had several bottles of it by now, and this citric presence gets me every time. Clear, precise, vibrant, without becoming sharp.
